I remember as a kid my dad would have us get the lawn mower ready for winter 
by changing the oil and running them out of gas.  These days I always forget 
and just throw in some fresh gas in the spring.  No problems.  I change the oil 
every year but usually forget to do it in the Fall and it happens in the 
Spring.

Go figure.
